The NY version of the Asian American International Film Festivals is set to start this thursday in New York City. Me being a westcoaster and actually have a feature film in it (yeah, it’s forgotten), in 1997 or was it 1998 is long past. Wayne Wang is back in the saddle again with the opening night film, Princess of Nebraska – which somehow reminds me of the U2 song title, Angel of Harlem. I guess it’s similar in an SAT test sort of way. For you NY’ers, I’ll be out there in full force maybe as part of the Directors Chair site.

Meanwhile if you want, see me interview a bunch of filmmakers, producers, and actors. Click on that link above.

I heard an Asian lady who was getting a few cups for herself and her kids say, “did all these come from your own tree?” I’m sure this dude either did that, and picked his own, got them super cheap, and figured that making juice would be a quick way to make some bucks with oranges, which is right. While I stood there for a couple minutes, he sold 7 cups, one being to me. The juice was really great, refreshing, and all that. He put in a tiny piece of ice that was just right. When’s the last time you had fresh orange juice? Sometimes supporting a dude hustling feels better than supporting a store who pays taxes, rent, employees, and so forth.
